Page submitted is a candidate for speedy deletion

A tag has been placed on your article Maynor René Suazo, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Maynor René Suazo is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Maynor René Suazo. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable. -- Casper2k3 20:53, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: 2006/07 Speed Skating World Cup

Hey - just saw your work on 2006/07 Speed Skating World Cup. I've been working on 2007 Speed Skating World Cup; I don't care where the information is, really, but it seems a bit dumb to have 2 articles on the same thing - so would you mind if one was redirected to the other? Sam Vimes | Address me 15:08, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Brandenburg, in addition to what is said above I'd like to inform you about that your 2006/07 Ski jumping World Cup has a twin brother at 2007 Ski Jumping World Cup, created by me and helped with by Sam Vimes as well. The best thing would be merging them together, but as the lay-outs are pretty much different I'd also like your opinion on that before making any changes. Cheers, SportsAddicted | discuss 13:50, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I also think your name is better because the events take part in both years. The reason that I only named 2007 was because 2007 Alpine Skiing World Cup was already created inclusive previous years. I think we should rename all existing World Cups that cover 2006 and 2007. But before we do that we should merge these two articles. I don't mind much which article to keep as the information inside is pretty much the same, but in a different lay-out. The only reason why we might be using the article created by me is that other (winter) sports have the same lay-out, but I don't mind using your lay-out for ski jumping. I will drop a note to Sam Vimes so he can read this comment on your talk page and see what his opinion is. If you want to comment on this too, please comment it here, so we have it all together. Cheers, SportsAddicted | discuss 21:22, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I got the notice from SA. :) I think it would be better if all the "winter sports" cups looked sort of similar, and had the same name. I'd also think that including both years is clever, but personally I'd write 2006-07 with a - instead of a /, because that's what football, cricket, American sports and a lot of other things on Wiki use, so it'd be easier for people to find.

I think your tables can contain more information, so even though the article can get very long to scroll through, I think a table like this for results

Rank	Name	Nationality	1st (m)	2nd (m)	Points	Overall WC points
1	Arttu Lappi	FIN	141.0	-	154.8	100
2	Simon Ammann	SUI	136.5	-	145.7	80
3	Anders Jacobsen	NOR	137.5	-	145.5	60
4	Veli-Matti Lindström	FIN	132.0	-	135.6	50
5	Michael Neumayer	GER	130.5	-	129.9	45

is the best to use. (Perhaps without the pink background, though?) However, I kind of like my total season tables, as they show the overall scores and how the athlete performs over the season. Sam Vimes | Address me 21:52, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to User_talk:Sam_Vimes#2006.2F07_Ski_jumping_World_Cup.

What I was thinking was that someone (preferably me, I suppose) goes on to convert everything to the same format. 2006-2007 Cross Country Skiing World Cup, 2007 Speed Skating World Cup, 2006 Alpine Skiing World Cup, etc. I think there's an advantage to everything looking the same.

As for who should be included on the aggregate tables: top 15 is a reasonable cut-off IMO. Should include most athletes who were in the TV screen and in the media, without getting too big. Possibly also include everyone who has won a race during the season - so something like

(example from biathlon)

15.	Ivan Tcherezov	405

23.	Roman Dostal	281

(assuming Dostal won a race, which he didn't.) Sam Vimes | Address me 12:01, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good, In my opinion, going down with the tables of each World Cup meeting by naming the top 5 takes too much space, while it can be easily reduced by naming them aside on one row for each event. SportsAddicted | discuss 20:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point and I do agree that it might be better to include more information in a sport like ski jumping than is possible to include in the one line reports like in some other sports. It's hard to decide which one to choose, but the most important in my opinion is that we're not overdoing things by having two separate articles like the current situation. SportsAddicted | discuss 21:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I guess we have reached an agreement then :) SportsAddicted | discuss 21:48, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Ski jumper infobox

Hey. Thanks for creating this template. I made some changes, as the template transclusions used to create whitespaces, and the black text wasn't very readable on a #007FFF background. Thanks, Prolog 14:59, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The reason why it should be a lighter, more neutral color is usability. It might look good to you, but for example, on my screen the text is barely readable. We have to think about all the possible users of the information, with different monitors, brightnesses, contrasts etc. Several infoboxes have recently been updated with more suitable colors, such as {{Album}} and {{Infobox musical artist}} (see discussion). It doesn't matter that also the football template uses lightsteelblue, as this template is not related to ski jumping. Of course, it doesn't have to be lightsteelblue. That was just my suggestion. Thanks, Prolog 09:57, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Tore Kannelønning

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Tore Kannelønning, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

No apperances in a fully proffesional legue. Fails WP:BIO.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Brandenburg! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 12 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 198 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Pavel Karelin - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Speedy deletion nomination of Teitur Thordarson (temporary)

A tag has been placed on Teitur Thordarson (temporary) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Diego Henrique Pachega de Souza

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Diego Henrique Pachega de Souza. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:10, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Diego Henrique Pachega de Souza

The article Diego Henrique Pachega de Souza has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Proposed Deletion of Maximilian Mechler

I have nominated Maximilian Mechler for deletion. I found the article looking for unreferenced Bs of LP. There seems to have been no expansion of the article in 4 years, and nothing new (at least on the net) about the subject. Since you created the article I wanted to inform you, and also ask if you have in fact any information (sources of any sort) that might support keeping the article?

Hi!

Hi there. The last six months, I've tried to improve articles about Norwegian football, and when I look through the article history of articles I often see your name, and just wanted to let you know that I think you did a good job improving articles about Norwegian football, and if you ever decide to get back into wikipedia for editing, I'd be looking forward to it.

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Brandenburg. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Brandenburg~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
